BLACKPINK and TWICE - Who is the best girl group in Kpop Gen 3 after so many years of "trumpeting"?

If the battle between Gen 4 girlgroups is extremely tense because so many new groups are gradually appearing on the Kpop map, the Gen 3 battle is almost over with the victory in favor of TWICE and BLACKPINK.

Over the years, the main girlgroup of the two "big guys" JYP and YG have always "stimulated" each other in each achievement. In terms of visuals, TWICE is considered the one who elevates the concept of "pretty girl standing next to pretty girl", all 9 members do not have a single flaw in beauty. In terms of digital music and albums, TWICE also used to "dominate" Kpop until BLACKPINK started to dominate.

With the illustrious "one nine one ten" achievements, Knet has never stopped fighting to decide if TWICE or BLACKPINK is really the "final winner" in the 3rd generation.

And recently, in order to put an "end" to this long-standing controversy, a Pann Nate user compiled data from Gallup Korea to prove that TWICE is really the best girl group in Gen 3, not BLACKPINK as many BLINKs always say.

According to this person, Gallup Korea is a prestigious organization that can reflect public opinion on major issues including politics. So their annual rankings are an accurate measure to show that the girl group really won the hearts of the Korean people. The topic owner has compiled the results of Gallup's girl group survey for 6 years, from 2016 to 2021 - the heyday of Kpop Gen 3 and below are the results:

2016

This is considered a boom period for TWICE when the super hit Cheer Up stormed Korea, taking home the group Daesang Song of the Year at most major award ceremonies such as MMA, MAMA, GDA and SMA. Also in this year, TWICE finished 2nd in the 2016 Most Outstanding Artists chart, even surpassing EXO. In contrast, BLACKPINK is completely absent from the list.

2017

2017 continues to be another successful year for TWICE with a lot of hits like Knock Knock, Signal, Likey, Heart Shaker. The group stayed at No. 2 in Gallup's chart, only losing to "national sister" IU, surpassing the global boygroup BTS. Once again, BLACKPINK sadly "went out of the chicken coop", unable to enter the top 10 with TWICE.

2018

TWICE's own heyday has lasted 3 years in a row when the JYP girl group continues to be the "on top" name with hits YES Or YES, Dance The Night Away, What Is Love?. TWICE maintained 2nd place and was the most popular girl group in 2018. On the other hand, with the success of Ddu-du Ddu-du, BLACKPINK marked the first time entering the top 10 Gallup but still only landed in the top 10. 7, lost to TWICE by 5 places.

2019

Entering 2019, TWICE clearly regressed when falling to 6th place in Gallup's artist survey. However, this ranking is still enough to beat BLACKPINK. YG's girlgroup didn't even make it to the top 10 even though Kill This Love has achieved great success.

Year 2020

The switch between TWICE and BLACKPINK became clearer when BLACKPINK released How You Like That in 2020. Not stopping at the domestic limit, the 4 YG girls began to be called as global girl groups, "trumpets". stir" with BTS. In the same year, TWICE rose slightly to 5th place on the Gallup chart, but BLACKPINK went further when they "jumped" to 3rd even though they weren't even in the top 10 before.

Year 2021

2021 continues to be an unlucky year for TWICE. The group fell to 7th place in the chart, losing to rookie aespa. Meanwhile, BLACKPINK holds the 3rd place thanks to the extremely successful solo debut of Lisa and Rosé.

Based on the data just mentioned, the topic owner concluded that TWICE completely overwhelmed BLACKPINK in the 4 years from 2016 to 2019. Meanwhile, starting from 2020, the YG girl group has just begun to rise strongly. In terms of the number of "on top" years as well as the highest rankings achieved by the two groups on Gallup, this person thinks that TWICE is really the "last boss" girl group of Gen 3.

Previously, many BLINKs thought that BLACKPINK surpassed TWICE in both 2018 and 2019, not recently. And the topic owner used the Gallup chart to prove the opposite.

Some comments:

- The best song of the 3rd generation is Cheer Up or Ddu-du Ddu-du.

- Sorry but the real winner is BLACKPINK. Why is ONCE trying to deny this fact? Please stop pretending like TWICE is on the same level as BLACKPINK. Every indicator says that TWICE has lost this battle.

- Sure enough, ONCE always said there were books with evidence. When looking at the battle between TWICE and BLACKPINK, one side always gives specific numbers, and the other side keeps claiming their top idols without any proof.

- Yes, Gallup's data is a very real example. BLACKPINK's fans just respond with their mouths.

- BLACKPINK is the most viewed girl group on YouTube this year.
